Answer
What I do is Veganize regular recipes. I do not know what you are tired of eating frequently so it is difficult for me to suggest something new for you. So I can suggest a few good recipe sites for you that I use. You can also purchase a new Vegan cookbook and try the recipes. There is also a new line of Vegan products I can suggest because those are very yummy and easy and quick to prepare. You can make most any recipe Vegan. I have yet to come across a meal or recipe that I have not been able to veganize. You can make Vegan Italian Sausage subs, Vegan "Chicken" Fettucini Alfredo, Vegan Salsbury Steak, Vegan Meatloaf, or Vegan Ruben Sandwiches with Lentil Soup. Some nights when I am in a hurry I make the Gardein Tuscan Breasts, Steamed Broccoli, and baked Sweet Potatoes for Dinner. You can also make Tacos out of Boca Soy Crumbles. You can also make Sloppy Joes out of Manwich Sauce (Which is Vegan) and Boca Soy Crumbles. You can serve the Sloppy Joes with Sweet Potato Fries. Publix and Whole Foods Markets sell Frozen Sweet Potato Fries which are very good. Gardein makes a Vegan BBQ 'Por" substitute that you can just heat up and make BBQ sandwiches out of which also goes great with the Sweet Potato Fries that I mentioned. I also make Vegan chili in the crock pot with Boca soy crumbles. Since you did not specify what you are tired of eating I hope that I did not suggest things that you are tired of eating since I have no idea what your weekly menu already consists of. Hopefully, I have helped give you some easy but new ideas.

Going vegetarian, school lunch ideas?




Angela


My veggie-friendly friends have finally talked me, a meat-loving carnivore into going "green". Unfortunately I'm still in eighth grade, and restricted to a school menu. Any help with food ideas?

BTW, about the whole "Your still growing" thing, I haven't grown at all since the sixth grade..;(



Answer
I have been there! I went vegan when I was 12 and it was tough for me, but I managed to eat well at school.

Some ideas:
-bean salads (good beans to use are garbanzos/chickpeas, black beans, and black-eyed beans)
-mock "sloppy joe" sandwiches (use Morningstar brand crumbles in place of beef in any recipe or use on of these recipes: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=9635.0 and http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15762.0)
-pasta salad
-sandwiches with marinated roasted tofu (available pre-made from Whole Foods and Trader Joes, or look for recipes online)
-vegetarian "meatloaf" (lots of recipes are available online
-baked potato with fixin's or "potato angels" (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=32280.0)
-fruit, yogurt, and granola combo with a hearty muffin (e.g. banana or carrot or bran muffin...there are loads of recipes online)
-hummus with tortilla chips, veggies, or pita chips
-sandwiches with vegetarian "lunchmeat"
-vegetarian chili (with cornbread if you want)
-calzones
-waldorf salad

There are lots of websites with more ideas, too...see sources below
